I had so much more, dammit, with Phyllis long ago, in Manhattan, during those first few months, and I hardly knew it. I had a nasty and unpredictable and sometimes beautiful reality (or non-reality), with her—with whatever she was, then. When we walked together in the West Village, or made loud and untidy love in the little apartment I'd borrowed from my friend, Art DeGraff (who was also her murderer, which I did not know), or sat down to a meal, I had her unique odor, and her presence, too, her formidable sexuality, her eyes (everywhere), and I had my love for her, which I knew, then, would exist through all time, through any change or transition either of us would endure. But now, in my dim house in the dim woods, I have the suffocating claustrophobia of shadows that do not fade but which speak to me, and speak among themselves, and to themselves, as if they're a rare species of bird mouthing the desperate and short, meaningless sentences and atonal music of the dead, and there's nothing of reality or non-reality in any of it, nothing beautiful or challenging or fascinating (anymore). Only air without warmth, earth without substance.

And no love at all.
